\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is from a deeply concerned Reuters<\/a>. Headline: “Americans Worry that Illegal Migrants Threaten Way of Life, Economy — As President Barack Obama considers sidestepping Congress to loosen US immigration policy –” Don\u2019t you just love that choice of wording. He is going to break the law. If he does this, he\u2019s going to be violating the Constitution. And what does Reuters say? He\u2019s considering “sidestepping Congress to loosen US immigration policy, a Reuters\/Ipsos poll shows Americans are deeply worried that illegal immigration is threatening the nation\u2019s culture and economy.<\/p>\n

“Seventy percent of Americans — including 86 percent of Republicans — believe undocumented immigrants threaten traditional US beliefs and customs, according to the poll.” And when you read the rest of the story you cannot escape Reuters\u2019 belief that this is just a bunch of crazy, paranoid racists that are responding in this poll. Because everybody knows that illegal immigrants are a boon to the economy and our culture. Everybody knows that these kids are the future of America. <\/line><\/p>\n

Everybody knows that this is a nation of immigrants, and without these people crossing the border, we will never, ever reclaim our greatness. (interruption) How can kids be a boon? They\u2019re future Democrats. (interruption) I know all kids do is consume, particularly Democrat kids. But they\u2019re the future of America because they\u2019re going to vote Democrat. They\u2019re the future of America because they\u2019re gonna keep Democrats in office. They\u2019re the future of America because they\u2019re gonna be subservient and dependent on the Democrat Party. That\u2019s why they\u2019re the future. <\/p>\n

But the point here is that you have a poll where 70% of the American people know the disaster that\u2019ll happen, and Reuters writes about this as though the disaster is public opinion. There\u2019s a story — by the way, it\u2019s not just this poll. Some member of the US Commission on Civil Rights is warning Obama that all of this is going to be disastrous for the black population. And you can figure that one out. <\/p>\n

This guy says the poor blacks in this country do not need more competition for the dollars handed out by the Democrat Party. In fact, they\u2019ve got first dibs on \u2019em because they were the original victims of this country. And what do you mean, importing a bunch of new victims? We can\u2019t have that. It\u2019s all over the place. It\u2019s not just the 70% in the Reuters poll. This Civil Rights Commission guy is standing up and he\u2019s saying it would be a disaster for the black population. I still, I\u2019m going back and forth on whether or not Obama will actually do this. <\/p>\n

On the one hand, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he did it just to create the disaster, because he thinks this country deserves it. It\u2019s time we found out what life on this planet is really like for most people and should have been like for us all along if it hadn\u2019t been for the fact that we\u2019ve run around the world and stolen everything. On the other hand, there\u2019s a part of me that says Obama didn\u2019t do this when he had both houses of Congress the first two years of his Regime<\/a> when he could have done it easily. He wouldn\u2019t even needed executive orders. He could have just had the Democrat Congress give him the bill he wanted and signed it. <\/p>\n

They could have done amnesty in the first two years, and they didn\u2019t. And the reason they didn\u2019t is because nobody\u2019s gonna get credit for this. There is only going to be blame. And to the extent that Obama cares about the Democrat Party, if he can\u2019t finagle this so that the Republicans get blamed for it, he may not do it. Those are the two competing ideas I have in my head about this, and I don\u2019t know which one is more correct, \u2019cause both of them, in their own way, make an equal amount of sense. <\/p>\n

Again, on the one hand we have Obama with a chip on his shoulder about America. It\u2019s deep and it\u2019s rooted to the founding, how could a country write and ratify a Constitution rooted in individual liberty and freedom when there was slavery? And that\u2019s just something I don\u2019t think he and Holder have ever gotten over, even though it didn\u2019t affect them, didn\u2019t impact them. As leftists they\u2019ve been raised and educated to be angry about that no matter what happens. No matter that we are one of the few nations on earth that has solved it and gotten rid of it, at great cost. <\/a>So that\u2019s one.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if he does this on his own, it\u2019s gonna be him and the Democrat Party taking the hit, not the Republicans, and I don\u2019t know that he\u2019s ready for that. Time will tell. So on the one hand, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s gonna do it. On the other hand, I think he will. I don\u2019t know which is the case. I think there\u2019s a bunch of huffing and puffing. I think his dream would be if he could scare the Republicans into doing it. I think that\u2019s what this is really all about. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the Democrats will not shut up about impeachment. That\u2019s why the Democrats will not stop goading the Republicans, all this claptrap about you guys are never gonna win anything as long as the Hispanics keep hating on you the way they are hating on you. And if you don\u2019t start getting some love from the Hispanics your days in the political system are over. And the only way you can make \u2019em love you is amnesty. And of course the Republicans believe this tripe, folks. <\/p>\n

So there\u2019s no question that Obama is trying really hard to make it look like the Republicans are stopping it and then pressuring them into making it happen so that they take the hit. Because the truth of the matter is, if the Republican Party wants to end itself, if it wants to commit suicide, if the Republican Party wants to ensure that it doesn\u2019t win the White House for a long time, they will do amnesty. And that\u2019s what the Democrats want. <\/p>\n

The Democrats are not interested in Republicans winning the White House again. The Democrats are not interested in the Hispanic vote shifting to the Republican Party. Any two-year-old could figure that out. Time will tell what happens here. On this one it\u2019s tough to predict. It could go either way.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Peter Kirsanow, the black commissioner on the eight-member US Commission on Civil Rights, Peter Kirsanow is the black member, and he wrote a letter to Obama this week. “I write to remind you of the disastrous effect of illegal immigration on the employment of all Americans, but particularly black Americans.” He was livid about it, and he let Obama know in no uncertain terms. Here\u2019s part of what he wrote. <\/p>\n

“Illegal immigration has a disparate impact on African American men because these men are disproportionately represented in the low-skilled labor force.” He added, “Granting legal status to millions of people who are in the United States illegally will continue to depress the wages and employment opportunities of African American men and teenagers, and it will also depress the wages and employment opportunities of African-Americans going forward.” So Peter Kirsanow, black member, US Commission on Civil Rights, a Democrat, more than likely. <\/line><\/p>\n

There is no credit for doing this. Now, let me throw another thing in the mix in trying to predict what Obama\u2019s gonna do. The fact that the Washington Post has an editorial today<\/a> warning him, and, in a sense, throwing down the gauntlet and saying, “You really don\u2019t want to do this. We will not and cannot defend you if you do this.” That tells me they think he\u2019s really close to doing it, which may give us some sort of indication. As I say, I\u2019m not surprised either way. If he goes ahead and does this and drops that nuclear bomb and grants amnesty to half of \u2019em or all of \u2019em, it would not surprise me.<\/p>\n

And it wouldn\u2019t also surprise me if he sat around and waited and waited until he could figure out a way for the Republicans to get blamed for it. Because I\u2019m telling you right now there is no credit. There\u2019s no credit to be had here. I mean, not anywhere near a significant amount of credit that would redound positively in a political sense to anybody. <\/p>\n

Now, Peter Kirsanow, he\u2019s a staunch opponent of amnesty. He was a Bush appointment, by the way. So he may not be a Democrat. Okay, okay, I stand corrected. Conservative African-American, Peter Kirsanow, and he\u2019s warning Obama. Okay. Well, then that just means Obama won\u2019t listen to him. But he wanted to go on record anyway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
